ALLIES of Pakistan’s jailed former prime minister Imran Khan won more seats in last week’s parliamentary elections than the parties that ousted him from power nearly two years ago, according to final results published today.

Thursday’s vote was overshadowed by claims of vote-rigging and the exclusion of Mr Khan and his Tehreek-e-Insaf party (PTI) from the ballot.

Members had to stand as independents as the Election Commission and Supreme Court curbed PTI participation.
